Do Holden Utes drive differently to regular Commodores?

[vc commodore]

I'm aware the VT/VZ had a different rear suspension set up compared to the VE/VF's

Personally I am a fan of the VE/VF set up, rather than the VT/VZ one

How about the VT-VZ generation?

I owned a vt clubsport and a vz r8. The vt with vx gts brakes was better at braking due to better brake pads, (remsa). Don't have comparison with the corresponding utes as I have never owned one or driven one.

Yea, about that - Holden confused the bejaysus out of me with their "Holden Ute" & "Commodore Ute" nomenclature and series sequencing after the VS (2nd gen).

There are no VT utes, as such. The VS ute was available until the VT Commodore sedan series was replaced by the VX. The VS utes were replaced by VU utes which have VX Commodore (sedan) components, and were in turn superseded two years later by the VY ute (and Holden got back to the normality of having all utes and sedans with matching series designations).

"Unlike in the case of its other new generation platforms, which saw Holden release a untility version concurrent to other mainstream body shapes, a VT utility version was never developed. Instead, Holden continued to sell the VS utility version until December 2000, at which time the Holden Ute (VU) was released"

"The VU replaced the VS Utility. The VU's arrival was 36 months after the VT Commodore sedan, meaning it arrived in time for the launch of the VX Commodore."

Then there was VG ute produced through part of VN run and before that HZ which continued into VB/VC followed by WB which ran through VC/VH and part of VK.

They did have form.
